The Hips first release in four years features songs-two on the vinyl, four on the CD (including an alternate version of "Red Tandy")-written both collaboratively and separately, and is an excellent appetizer for a new full-length LP slated to be issued next year.

If the Hips sound creatively energized amidst all the harmony-drenched, California-baked rock, it's because they are.

"Greg is my favorite person to play music with and one of my favorite songwriters," notes singer/guitarist Bluhm. "We started out together. You only have one of those guys per life. Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing unless he's singing with me." Singer/guitarist Greg Loiacono adds: "Now when we come together to play, there's true happiness in seeing each other, and in creating new sounds and feelings for ourselves and for the fans that come to hear us."

First formed in Chico, CA, back in 1991, The Mother Hips released 3 records on Rick Rubin's American Recordings from 1994-1997, and built a following the old-fashioned way, touring constantly and letting word-of-mouth do the talking, with fans left buzzing after tours with Johnny Cash, Wilco and on the H.O.R.D.E. tour. Now residing in and about the Bay Area, the current
Mother Hips line-up consists of singer/guitarist Tim Bluhm, singer/guitarist Greg Loiacono, bassist Paul Hoaglin and drummer John Hofer.
